Somehow I wish TA would allow us to mark in fractions. Is it because Americans don't understand them perhaps? I feel a trifle mean only giving 3 out of 5 as it is a really nice hotel with wonderful staff. However, although it is a delightful Georgian building from the outside you really wouldn't know it from the inside and... More

We were greeted at reception by Alan, who introduced himself, was friendly and respectful as he briefed us on our stay; he then offered to carry luggage up the stairs to our room. The room itself (a 'premier' room) was spacious, clean and comfortable with everything working as it should. The en-suite was tastefully decorated and also not cramped. Phoning... More

We arrived in Dorchester late on bank holiday Sunday on the way to Cornwall from Gatwick by chance. Having had little success throughout the day with RAC and many other problem causing delays on the way to an interview, we were 3 very tired adults. On arriving at the Wessex Royale, we were told that unfortunately the hotel only had... More

This time I had one of the courtyard rooms, which are slightly larger than those in the main hotel. Very comfortable and warm, even though it was bitterly cold and snowing outside! Very good en-suite. the few steps to the hotel is no problem, and as usual the breakfasts were excellent. Very pleasant staff too.

Stayed at this hotel for one night, last minute. Staff very helpful and friendly, car park small but we managed to get a space. Bar area nice, open fire, but drinks very pricey! Breakfast was nice, good selection and service, although restaurant was a bit dated, as was our room. It was a shame because the public areas were quite... More

Lovely room overlooking the historic high street. Spotlessly clean. Friendly and welcoming staff. Excellent cooked breakfast. Car parking spaces at the rear of the hotel are limited, but parking on the street is easy and free after six and all day Sunday. There is a very quiet and comfortable lounge room on the first floor, ideal reading.
